You need to look past the plastic ears for a moment & let's talk about the perchlorates. So, to recap:
You have decades of nightly fireworks,
Resulting in Perchlorates in your water system,
And hundreds of thousands of residents & tourists are in the fallout zone every night
And before you deny the perchlorates, Well 39 has them & I dare you to prove me wrong.
My point is that not one of you has given the health of your constituents a second thought.
If you had, you would know the answer to these questions. If you cared at all, you would have already
initiated studies to ensure we are safe, and if we weren't safe, you would take meaningful action to
make us safe, right?
So, Council, can you, without hesitation, say we are safe from Firework Fallout?
The answer to that question is no. Because you don't know. Because you have never asked
because Disney bought those seats for you.
“We don’t know” is not an acceptable answer—
So here is the ask - City of Anaheim residents are formally requesting that this item be agendized for
discussion and direction for the following:
Initiate a cross-agency investigation
Include EPA, AQMD, the Water Board, OC Health Care Agency, and independent
environmental
consultants that are not influenced by you or Disneyland experts
Provide a public timeline and reporting

Because if you don’t lead this:
Others will.
Regulators will.
The Media will.
And potentially, the courts will.
The community is watching—and we expect action.
